Minor fuckery:
They cancelled the Nightly Show, & using a tablet to boing SUCKS.
That is all.

Lower your expectations, itāll go down betterā¦
TobinL just reminded me about bookmarking and I was like, you can do that? (I do 99% of my boinging on iOS and can break Discourse quite easily - the gear (
) is not your friend, you have been warned.)
ETA: I feel your pain.

Sure, go ahead; laugh it up.
Keep in mind that I have a long memory and an avid interest in schadenfreude.

schadenfreudeān calling - my dental hygienist left/quit & the only other hygienist at my dentists office that Iāve ever had the misfortune of meeting was like going three rounds with Mike Tyson.
I have an appointment Tuesday after next.

Contrary to what you might expectā¦ hereās something you really, really want to see when thereās a fire on the other side of the ridge.
(Not my picā¦ I was busy soaking the outbuildings with the pool water.)
Theyāre calling it 40% contained but more importantly to us, theyāve stopped the northern edge of the fire.

This is a large swath of carpet right now. If it looks like cat litter, thatās because it is. There was a power and therefore sump pump failure during a storm and things got flooded. Iāve been contending with moisture in various ways before finally resorting to kitty litter. I may have to rip up the carpet anyway.
In the meantime the area is off-limits to the cats, which have grown accustomed to shitting directly into cat litter for some reason.

Btw, did I mention I travel with power tools in the trunk of my car? If you are in CA or the PNW and need a hand, just drop me a line.

Since you offered, can you help me move a broken stove about 30 feet, so it doesnāt look like my hick relatives have come to live with me?

I live in the great American Midwest: AKA āWhy does this house have a basement?ā
So unless youāve got an EPIC need to listen to all your podcasts in one car ride, I think Iāll gratefully decline the offer. 
Iāve done a laminate job upstairs already and as much as I like it, laminate doesnāt like moisture. This basement will flood again. Iād rather put down tile. Itās not my house though, so if I do rip it up, I think all parties involved would probably rather prefer to leave the naked slab where it is for now. Itās a relatively small section of carpet and I donāt care about it. I will however, be buying sandbags and a flood alarm.
